Joe Carnaha wants Preacher

A-Team helmer Joe Carnaha is looking to direct films based on the comic book Preacher and Marvel character Taskmaster.

Speaking to MTV, Carnahan revealed that he would like to “reimagine” Taskmaster, a villain with photographic reflexes, for the big screen.

“I think it might be one of those Marvel characters you really need to reimagine because he’s got the whole skull and cape,” he said about the character’s appearance.

He added: “It’s a bit grandiose I think – but it would certainly be a cool thing.”

Carnahan also admitted that he would jump at the chance to direct a film based on DC/Vertigo’s Preacher series.

“And the other thing I’m really keen on or interested in is Preacher, because I’m a big Garth Ennis fan and I love that series and that’s out there, and that might be something… I really love that,” he said.
